A Mayo Clinic article published in the December 2009 edition of Minnesota Hockey Journal gave a medical and psychosocial perspective of concussions in ice hockey.
Aynsley M. Smith, PhD and Michael Stuart, MD of Mayo Clinic’s Sports Medicine Center, and Dave Dodick, MD, Mayo Clinic neurologist, authored the paper, entitled “Concussion in Ice Hockey: What’s the Buzz?”
Mayo experts answered discussed topics such as who is most likely to get concussed, signs and symptoms of concussions, treatment, and prevention.
